What do people think of the idea of my writing something up as an
actual "Python packaging road map" and adding it to the user guide?
(It would probably replace
https://python-packaging-user-guide.readthedocs.org/en/latest/future.html)

Note that I wouldn't actually *do* this until after I get back from
Flock to Fedora (the conference is mid-August, I get home late August
since I'm taking some time off for a holiday), so we have plenty of
time to discuss the general approach before it gets written up
anywhere more "official". Just wanted to give people a change to think
about the idea.

Cheers,
Nick.
